Chapter 2 Lesson 2
Cell Shape
The size and shape of a cell relates to its
job or function.
Cells are made of
different structures
that perform different
functions that keep a
cell alive.
Three basic parts
of all cells:
cellular boundaries
cytoplasm
genetic material
Cell Boundaries
The cell membrane is a flexible covering
that protects the inside of a cell from the
environment outside a cell. Found in all
cells.
A cell wall is a stiff structure outside the
cell membrane that protects a cell from
attack by viruses and other harmful
organisms. Found in plant cells.

Cell Walls
The cell wall maintains the shape
of a plant cell.
The cytoskeleton maintains the
shape of an animal cell.
The cytoskeleton is a network of
threadlike proteins that are joined
together.
Cell Shape
Cytoplasm is fluid
inside a cell that
contains most of the
cell’s water, salts,
other molecules,
and the
cytoskeleton.
Cell Types
With more advanced microscopes,
scientists discovered that all cells can
be grouped into two types:
prokaryotic cells
eukaryotic cells
Cell Types - Prokaryotes
Most prokaryotic cells are unicellular
organisms called prokaryotes.
Cell Types - Prokaryotes
The genetic material in a prokaryotic cell is
not surrounded by a membrane.
Cell Types - Eukaryotes
Plants, animals,
fungi, and protists
are all made of
eukaryotic cells
and are called
eukaryotes.
In eukaryotic cells, the genetic material is
surrounded by a membrane.
Cell Types - Eukaryotes
Every eukaryotic cell
has membranesurrounded
organelles, which
have specialized
functions and enable
the cell to carry out
different functions at
the same time.
Genetic Material
The nucleus is the
part of a
eukaryotic cell that
directs cell
activities and
contains genetic
information stored
in DNA.
Genetic Material
In most cells, the nucleus is the
largest organelle.
Cell movement - flagellum
Cell appendages, like flagella and cilia, are
often used for movement.
Cell movement - cillia
Cell appendages, like flagella and cilia, are
often used for movement.
